From A to Zine

by

UW-Madison's College Library is the center of the zine universe during the Wisconsin Book Festival's day-long Madison Zine Fest on Saturday, Oct. 21. On tap: a zine fair featuring publishers and distributors from across the Midwest and beyond; a zine film screening and zine reading marathon; a queer zine roundtable; an appearance by Lisa Jervis, publisher of Bitch: Feminist Response to Pop Culture; a zine librarians' caucus; and workshops on topics like 'Riot Grrrls and Women in Rock,' 'How to Organize a Festival and Not Lose Money' and 'Writing Graphic Novels and Getting People to Read Them.'
